Strawberry-Almond Shake

If the thick texture of a smoothie isn’t to your liking, this blended drink has a smooth, frothy texture similar to that of a milk shake. Vary the fruit and add ingredients like wheat germ and bran to give the shake more fibre.

Ingredients 

• 1 cup frozen strawberries
• 1 cup Hemp & Co hemp milk 
• 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
• 1/4 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
• 3 ice cubes
• Dash of vanilla extract
• 2 fresh strawberries (optional)

Method 

1. Place the frozen strawberries, hemp milk, almonds, flaxseed, orange zest, ice cubes, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until smooth.

2. Pour into two glasses. Garnish each with a fresh strawberry, if desired.
